These are individually vacuumed sealed 16 yard, 1/2" wide ribbons on 2" True Universal spools. $19.95 for 2 ribbons(4 spools) delivered to US addresses. As seen in the 3rd picture, my spools have twice as much ribbon as sellers on Amazon and Ebay and are by far the freshest available anywhere!

Please read the following information!

This is the most common ribbon size (1/2") and will fit 95% of all vintage typewriters. Some typewriters have small or unique spools and the new ribbon must be transferred to the original spools. The ribbon itself will fit.

The universal spools and ribbon will fit the following models and many others not listed.

Some machines will need the use of the original spools but the vast majority can use the plastic universal spools that come with these ribbons. If the spools don't fit, simply wind the new ribbon onto the original spools.

Only typewriters that have the option of multi-colored ribbons can use the black and red. Look for the blue, red and white dots on your typewriter. If you don't have a ribbon selector, then you will need to order the black ribbon.

All of these ribbons are manufactured for me at the time of order. These ribbons are fresh and come with a freshness guarantee from the manufacturer. You will receive 2 ribbons of your choice. Black, Black/Red or Mix(one of each).

Black is recommended for most applications.

Black and red were more for accounting purposes but many collectors like the look of a black and red ribbon in their typewriters.
